Meh... methinks it the opposite, it is a much smaller crowd than you want to believe that are staying away, and if so, they are easily being replaced by others who do want to be there.
I really dont think people here think the parks are dying, i think you're seeing people say attendance is down, big difference.
I don't follow horror nights too closely, do they offer Taste of Terror yearly or is it a new offering
They lowered the prices on the escape rooms too - I think Universal priced those too high initially. Even for escape rooms they were very overpriced.
Thing is, from the current data provided by the company, it’s currently up overall for the domestic parks for the year vs last year. Disney World and Disneyland may have ebbs and flows to who gained vs who is losing, but it’s still up.
Negativity and pessimism are IMO what is primarily driving these boards, the demise of WDW is all over the place. Nickle and diming, unsustainability, complaining about how things were so much better years ago... ect. The thing that annoys me the most about it is the fact that people like riffing without any actual evidence, which spreads untruths that people just adopt blindly.
If the show that's being talked about is Little Demon, that was a good show but that's also my sense of humor and so I enjoyed it.
yeah ive heard you say that a few times. thats cool...you're entitled to an opinion just like everyone else is on a discussion board.
I do not have a problem with people having a difference in opinion, but when someone points out that the opinion you're posing is wrong, and clarify their position with facts it gets tiring to see people beat the same drum in face of that.
It was a little bit of hyperbole, but there have been plenty of naysayers. These two threads are both still on the first page of the News/Rumors board, and have plenty of examples:
ok? they're allowed to be naysayers? its a discussion board.
you're not addressing your original point, which was that "I really dont think people here think the parks are dying, i think you're seeing people say attendance is down, big difference" all people are trying to do is illustrate that there are plenty who believe the parks are failing. you may not be one of them, but there are plenty
i think some people get really tired of arguing or reading arguments also. there's a lot of emotion when it comes to something people really like.
I didn't say it wasn't okay.
cool.
It’s new for this year. Universal overpriced it
Are the parks dying? No of course not. Attendance is down due to a lot of things. I also believe they need to go back to what worked for the parks prior to Covid. First Genie+ and LL have to go. There has to be a simpler solution for line skips then booking return times. Second the Epcot festivals should be cut down to 1 or 2 a year. Make Epcot an updated version of what it originally was. Third is go back to investing in the parks and stop focusing solely on D+.
